my dog Lucy

I have this new puppy, and, as all puppies are, she is high maintenance. I am having so much fun with her though. I have been walking with her on a leash and training her to walk right next to me and to respond to "heal", and "come" commands. She has been doing so well that I took her leash off today to see what she would do. She just kept right on walking right beside me and not even running off when another dog was barking. I was so excited. I feel like all my hard work is starting to pay off. Also, we put this bell by the front door and every time we go outside to the bathroom we ring the bell. The point is that eventually she will be able to tell us by ringing the bell that she needs to go outside to do her business. Well, she has started ringing the bell, and it is so exciting. She rang it about 5 times today and went to the bathroom outside every time. Somteimes she rings the bell right after we get back from being outside and this is not fun. We live on the 3rd floor and I am starting to get sick of making 15 trips up and down the stairs.
I am a big dork about my dogs, but I love them and they love me.

Hi! Welcome to Katie's new blog. I am excited about this because I can post pictures. Here are some pictures of Thanksgiving and my dogs. This was probably the best Thansgiving ever. We had a blast.
